Did Delhi Cops Give Permit for Rally to Chant ‘Goli Maaro’ Slogan?

Activist Saket Gokhale said that Delhi Police granted him permission for a rally to chant the ‘Goli Maaro’ slogan.

Activist Saket Gokhale posted on social media that the Delhi Police granted him permission to host a rally in the national capital in which people will be allowed to chant the slogan, “Goli maaro saalo ko, desh ke gaddaron ko. (Shoot the traitors of this country.)”

Gokhale said that after first granting permission, the Delhi Police later “requested” him to move the protest to after 8 February, the day Delhi goes to vote for the Assembly polls.

Later, Delhi Police denied that such a permit was given.

It is hereby clarified that no permission to hold a protest on 02.02.2020 has been given to Sh.Saket Gokhale. A copy of his request letter is being circulated in the social media as permission, which is not the case. @DelhiPolice
